New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

Re: Please Elaborate

MCH recordings where I feel I am sitting in the middle of the performance are ones I do not prefer. The MCH recording for DSOTM to me is gimmicky more than adding to the performance. This is something I listen to in 2 CH. I would put most of my Jazz and Pop SACD into this 2 CH category.

I like MCH when the surround mix is done to add ambience to make you feel like you are sitting at a venue listening live. Most (not all) Classical pieces fit the "better" MCH category for me.

Here is a list of some SACD's that I recommend to people wanting to try SACD, but again this is from my personal preferences and not the end all of end all lists. Remember you also have to like the music to also appreciate these listed

Jazz, Pop, etc. - 2 CH SACD Listening is the best on these

Flim & the BB's - Tricycle
Steve Davis - Quality of Silence
Diana Krall - Love Scenes
Mark Knopfler - Shangri-la
Art Pepper - Art Pepper + Eleven
Chet Baker - Chet

Classical - MCH Listening is the best on these

Britten/Elgar - Paavo Jarvi (Conductor)
Boston Symphony Chamber Players - Mozart Chamber Music for Winds & Strings
RCA Living Stereo - Sherherazade
RCA Living Stereo - Pictures at an Exhibition (Also the MoFi version)
Mozart Violin Concertos 3 & 4 - Julia Fisher (Pentatone Label)
Mozart Youth Symphonies 2 & 3 sound the best (but I like all 4)


Almost any SACD Telarc Label
I also like the Pentatone Classical SACD's
